TGIF, everyone! First Line Fridays is a fun way to share from books on your TBR.

Today my first line is from a book I am starting this weekend (absolutely cannot wait!!!!):

You’re invited: Seeking women aged 18 to 32 to participate in a study on ethics and morality conducted by a preeminent NYC psychiatrist. Generous compensation. Anonymity guaranteed. Call for more details.

I’m a huge fan of these two authors! Their first book, The Wife Between Us, was a favorite of mine last year, and I’ve been eagerly anticipating this one! I cannot even begin to describe my excitement over this book! I’m buddy reading this, and I’ll be sharing some thoughts…on my birthday next week! So stay tuned!

Synopsis from Goodreads:

The next novel of psychological suspense and obsession from the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us

When Jessica Farris signs up for a psychology study conducted by the mysterious Dr. Shields, she thinks all she’ll have to do is answer a few questions, collect her money, and leave. But as the questions grow more and more intense and invasive and the sessions become outings where Jess is told what to wear and how to act, she begins to feel as though Dr. Shields may know what she’s thinking…and what she’s hiding. As Jess’s paranoia grows, it becomes clear that she can no longer trust what in her life is real, and what is one of Dr. Shields’ manipulative experiments. Caught in a web of deceit and jealousy, Jess quickly learns that some obsessions can be deadly.

From the authors of the blockbuster bestseller The Wife Between Us comes an electrifying new novel about doubt, passion, and just how much you can trust someone.

Please share with me the first line(s) of the book you are currently reading! I would love to read it! Have you read An Anonymous Girl, or do you plan to? Did you read The Wife Between Us? Happy Friday reading! ~ Jenni THR

Me, too, Suzanne! I’ve been waiting to read this one a long time and have been so ready! The Wife Between Us was my favorite thriller last year. So, so good! I hope you get a chance to read it over the holidays and that we both love it as much as TWBU!

The opening line of this book is definitely intriguing! I got a copy of this from NetGalley and I’m so keen to read it asap, I feel sure I’m going to love it. I hope you enjoy reading it over the weekend! 🙂

Yes, I read the Wife Between Us and enjoyed it. Cannot wait to read their new release.
I am beginning the Christmas Sisters by Sarah Morgan. The first lines are:
There are good anniversaries, and bad anniversaries. This was a bad one and Suzanne chose to mark the moment with a nightmare.
Happy Friday!

That first line alone is enough to make me scared for the protagonist! Psychiatric experiments re never good… 😱

I’ll be reading another Dickens Christmas book over the weekend – The Haunted Man and the Ghost’s Bargain. It begins…

Everybody said so.

Far be it from me to assert that what everybody says must be true. Everybody is, often, as likely to be wrong as right. In the general experience, everybody has been wrong so often, and it has taken, in most instances, such a weary while to find out how wrong, that the authority is proved to be fallible. Everybody may sometimes be right; “but that’s no rule,” as the ghost of Giles Scroggins says in the ballad.

The dread word, Ghost, recalls me.

Everybody said he looked like a haunted man. The extent of my present claim for everybody is, that they were so far right. He did.

The dead are prone to secrecy. Eighteen years ago, my best friend Colleen took the outbound train to the next world. She’s seen behind the curtain, knows the answers to a great many questions. But since she’s been back in her role as guardian spirit, she can’t share this information with me. It’s against the rules, that’s what she tells me.

Thank you, Gemma! ♥️ I started it last night and I had a late night. It reads so easily and is such a page turner, I literally could not put it down. I think you are making a great choice with this one as your first read! I need to do the same! It could predict my whole reading year! 😊

I still haven’t read the wife between us, but I’ll get to it😀 this next one sounds very good. Never participate in any psychological studies😅 I’m just saying. Hope you’re having fun reading this one Jennifer.

I’m going to give this book a try even though I wasn’t crazy about The Wife Between Us. I know, I know….people loved it. It just didn’t do it for me. But this one sounds interesting enough so I am going to read it. Looking forward to your thoughts on it. 😊

My aim is to create an extensive portfolio of my writing, from articles, reviews and creative writing etc. I will be covering many different subjects in different contexts from Music, Books, Journalism, Film & TV, Marketing and Creative Writing/Stories.

Pet minder extraordinaire by day. Bookworm by night. I've been an avid reader my whole life, which started in the world's of Harry Potter, Nancy Drew Mysteries, and The Babysitter's Club. I enjoy reading mostly YA Fantasy/Sci-fi, YA Contemporary, New Adult, and Historical Fiction, but am willing to try nearly anything if it sounds interesting! Come travel through worlds and join me on an adventure!
